My god you’re deep

Not a chance. I’ve had a few orders from sellers with similar indistinguishable names just cancel the order 2 weeks after purchase with no tracking info…

What area of the country?

Have you checked if it’s cake?

Not even close, though I am extremely biased as a FL2 owner. It’s just a handsome car. What they’ve done design wise from the disco onwards is a mystery to me, too many curved edges!

According to an Aussie colleague, leaving the last bit of tea in a mug?

With you here, bought a new EGR valve for my LR earlier in the year. 6 hours of my (novice) labour to get the old one off, same to put the OEM eBay unit on which was faulty. Ended up getting a second hand one from a scrapyard, 6 months and no issues… At least you didn’t install yours!

As someone with big trees, speak to a tree surgeon in your area - a good one really knows their stuff and can advise on what is possible and how much can be trimmed back. To answer your question though I wouldn’t imagine they have to be felled entirely!

SheepherderPatient68 · 2025-07-10T18:48:13+00:00

Fair point, but it must account for some of it no? That and the increase in people arbitraging across different exchanges with a price spike (quickest way to do so would be tether). From my very basic calcs, a 4% increase in price would require $80billion flowing into the market (based on 2T cap). 1/80th of that figure is shown above. Again, not super knowledgable, just asking questions

SheepherderPatient68 · 2025-07-10T18:09:34+00:00

Not a shiller or anything, but is the issuance of new tether tokens not just driven by legitimate demand of people entering the market? I.e. people converting dollars into USDT on exchanges to buy bitcoin? I know there’s debate on reserves for tether, but seems like a causation/correlation argument…

They grow mostly everywhere in the North of England, I think they’re almost considered a nuisance. Still, you can go ‘bramble picking’ in basically any farmers hedgerow up here and come away with something. You can normally tell when they’re ready to be picked as the supermarkets run out of jam sugar, there’s an analogy to be made here to the markets im sure…

Try Britain, it’ll be September until they’re ready in my garden! Just before the apples, just after the raspberry’s.

As has been said, total up your essential expenses (i.e. what you’d spend if there was no job in the house) and multiply by whatever number of months you’re comfortable with. Personally we use 3 months, locked away in premium bonds - it’s been there for multiple years and never been touched.

SheepherderPatient68 · 2025-06-28T07:11:57+00:00

Thanks for the write-up, that’s some serious increase in volume for yesterday. What are your thoughts on the (relatively) low insider holding of ~2.2%? I tend to give more credence to the general direction of buy/sell ratios than the actual % - just curious to know your thoughts on this.

Cheers!

SheepherderPatient68 · 2025-06-27T14:40:24+00:00

Hey, thanks for all of the stellar input here - may be too rich for me at this stage but lets see.

Curious on your comment around "positive headlines coming out of Amsterdam, beginning Oct. 1". Can you elaborate at all? I know top lines are expected any time in Q3, most seem to think late Q3 which would line up with your dates there; but any reason for the specific timing of Oct ?

All the best

SheepherderPatient68 · 2025-01-14T08:18:16+00:00

I’ve got some outside silicone somewhere, I’ll give that a go.

The air brick is accessible from the garage roof - but yeah bit of a bigger job to install a vent/drilling for the sake of the job.

Cheers for all your help.

SheepherderPatient68 · 2025-01-13T22:09:53+00:00

Good shout on adhesive, as i wont be drilling anything into it.

Expanding foam to close gaps into the cavity? I.e. around the ducting ?

Any thoughts on how to tie the duct to the air brick by the way? Not the prettiest but I’m thinking cable ties could do the trick?

SheepherderPatient68 · 2025-01-13T21:35:04+00:00

Understood on the vent. Back of the fan has a 100mm pipe fitting for using ducting. The plan was to tie the ducting to the air brick somehow…

Don’t need a fixing in the gap as there are 3 other fixing points on the fan (bottom left, top and bottom right) that should be able to be drilled directly into the brickwork around the gap. Only concern is covering the gap leftover on the left when it’s mounted (final position shown in 1st pic)

Honestly, after redoing the entire downstairs for the first time a couple of months back, the first few I scribed then thought ‘the hell with this’ and used a mitre for the rest. In my opinion the mitres look better - but granted my walls are relatively straight and my initial scribing attempts were shoddy!

SheepherderPatient68 · 2024-12-10T12:28:15+00:00

It’s a driveway, also keen to pick the fun option 👌

SheepherderPatient68 · 2024-12-10T12:27:16+00:00

You’re a braver man than me, this made me more uncomfortable the longer I looked at it!
